VERDE: VERBOS
Biomechatronics is a newer field, but a fascinating one.
Mechatronics engineers are making machines to support, or in the case of a loss to
replace, the natural functions of the human body.
One of the most sophisticated examples of this today is i-Limb, a prosthetic hand with
bionic components to aid amputees.
i-Limb uses sensors placed on the wearer’s skin that allow them to control the movement
of the hand and fingers through muscle signals.
Each finger has its own motor so that wearers can move every part of the hand in a way
that mimics the body’s natural motor control.
As this field expands, we can almost certainly expect to see more and more lifelike
prosthetic options, wearable tech, and possibly even mechanical organs or sophisticated
aides for internal body parts like the heart.
